Why's that?

Deliberately, the current mail generation code injects mail to sendmail in 
a way that it's only queued; no immediate delivery attempt is made.  This 
is because the subprocess then exits almost immediately, rather than 
putting the parent process/thread to sleep while a delivery attempt is 
made.  I don't believe the timing of either notification is critical which 
is why it was done this way.

How can you tell the difference even with SMTP injection?
